Sparkling Catawba Springs.

Correspondence Charlotte Chroncle.)
HICKORY, May 24.-I see your paper
contains an advertisement of the famous
summer resort, located six miles from
Hickory and is reached by a drive over
six miles of the best road that can be
found in North Carolina. Here you will
find the Sparkling Catawbe Springs
which is fast gaining reputation abroad
for It's great healing qualities. We have
just returned from the Springs and find
everything in apple-pie order for the
comfort Of guests. DR.. z. o. Elliott 4
Son have added largely to their capacity
for entertaining guests and can now
easily accommodate 400 people. The
grounds are beautiful and parties wish
ing to be away from the noise Of q Eotel
can have rooms in cottages located on
the grounds, of which there are about
thirty. There will be band Of music
at tie Springs throughout the entire
season and the young people who Like to
trip the light fantastic toe will find here
a gcol ball room and the best OF music
as well. You can get here baths o! any
description, from the plunge bath in the
large building erect d especially for the
purpose, with swimming capacity Of
30x35, but surrounded on either side by
convenient dressing rooms. You can
also get hot air and vapor baths If
needed. The bowling alley is first class
and is good exercise to work up an ap-
petite for all the good things that is
furnished on the tables by tie proprie-
tors. We have visited nearly all the
summer resorts in North Carolina, and
We feel justified in saying that We believe
there IS no place in North Carolina or
in tie South where one can find better
water, better air, more beautiful scenery
and better accommolati55rts than the
Sparkling Catav55a Springs.

Miss Easilake's Quaint Gowns.

Miss Eastlakc affects the quaint
gowns which are unlike the fashion
able garb that the average woman Of
to-day clothes her figure in. These
gowns, by the way, have created more
or less discussion, both in and out of
print. To my mind, however, they
form no slight part Of the samo indivld-
uali!v that on every side 5esets the lady.
10 see Miss Eastlakc arrayed in any
thing but the soft, dark, clinging
p?usnes that are cut so as to hang prin-
cipaliv from the shoulders, with the
broa.}, deep frill CT fine embroidery CT
lace gathered around the neck, that
have become famous in London as the
"Eastlake collar" would seem like tax
ing the pretty children that Kate
Gfeenaway knew so well how to draw
in picturesque attire, and decking them,
instead, like 4 French doll that the true
Partisan child selects in one OF the gay
tov-shops OF Paris. The word aesthetic
which has been applied so often to Miss
Eastlake, is not the proper word to use
in describing her at all; that is, as We
N this age in England and America
understand the word. That Miss East
lake is believer in sesthetics is true,
for she is firm believer in the science
which treats of all that is beautiful in
art and nature, which is the true def
milton of tue word, but that she is limp,
cllneing, languid or sickly sentimental,
either IL manner or appearance, is
libel Of The utmost nagnitnde.-Boston

Sultan Sciim's Mosque.

Sultan Selim's mosque at Adrianople
is the finest in the Moslem world. Seen
from Il distance in the train. its rotunda
and tour tail minarcts make ltlook to
western eyes like q huge gasometer,
but, saws writer in the London Times,
it is worth while spending day at
Adrianople if only to see the inside OF
this marvellous building. Since the
Russians last came here and stamped
all over the place with their muddy
boots, the Turks are longer particular
about requiring Giaours to 60 IN unshod.
A servant brings capacious babouches,
which you drag on over your boots, and
then you skate respectfully over the ex-
qulsitely clean natting which covers
the entire floor. .The vast expanse OF
this circular floor, the height OF the
dome, the countless painted arches and
columns and the perfect stiffness OF the
place, broken only by the plashing OF a
small fountain into marble basin, pro-
duce strangely subdued effect Thou
sands and thousands of colored oil
lamps hang in garlands from the pill
lars and walls, and when all these are
lighted up for religious festival, and
when the floor cannot be seen for the
mul. itaae of worshippers all kneeling,
with thc.r heads bent and their palms
on their thighs, the sight, rs those who
have witnessed it say, is one never to
be forgotten. This mosque OF Sellm has
999 windows. and thousandth which
is closed. The great Sultan had order
ed Z thousand windows, and, when he
heard that there was one short he sent
for the architect and stroked his beard
with an air which boded no good; but
the architect, who deserved to live IN
the days Of puff advertisements, re-
marked that mosque with thousand
windows would convey nothing OF odd
itv to the curious, whereas o mosque
with 999 windows and one closed would
set people talking and wondering Tor
ages. The mosque has another legend
connected with stone violet plant
which is carved over its fountain. A
poor man, who owned part of the
ground over which the mosque is built,
refused 10 sell his land unless 3 violet
which had been planted Dy his wife was
allowed TO bloom upon it The Sultan
accepted the condition, and the violet
was carefully rallied in and tended, but
in time it died. and the sovereign order
ed that a fountain should be erected on
the SPOT where it had blossoned, and
that :, stone violet should be carved
upon it as q symbol of marital con.
Stancv.
